About Rio Vista

Rio Vista Middle School is an intellectually vibrant place where innovation, curiosity, respect, and challenge are the norm.

Vista exists at the intersection of theory and practice. Our goal at Rio Vista is to launch our students on a path of lifelong learning that is informed by passion, compassion, and engagement in the community. Here, students are expected to think in ways that are critical and complex, relying on a synthesis of ideas that is consistent with the work they’ll do throughout their lives.

A group of students work together to build a structure out of marshmallows and spaghetti.

Parent Involvement at Rio Vista

We would like to welcome all new and returning parents and students for the new school year. We hope you will join us as we
work together with our teachers and staff to support the growth and development of students here on campus. We encourage you
to participate in the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), School Site Council (SSC), English Language Acquisition Committee
(ELAC), and other site committees and projects. Please contact the school office for additional information. Meeting dates will
be posted on the monthly newsletter/calendar. All parents are welcome to attend. By working together, we can help provide our
students with a quality education and a positive and safe environment.
